‘Ridiculous and absurd’: Douglas Murray slams David Lammy’s ‘stupid’ old Trump remarks

Author Douglas Murray has slammed UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy over his previous remarks about former US president Donald Trump.

“He also showed in recent years he doesn’t only lack knowledge, he lacks wisdom and judgement,” he told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.

“Because anyone wise and judicious would not, in any circumstances, be sending out stupid, abusive tweets about the president, the leader of Britain’s most important ally, the closest ally the United States.

“Would not send out abusive tweets making completely ridiculous and absurd and insulting claims about him.”

Lammy is as thick as two short planks and he is our first choice foreign secretary. What a joke this country has become

[TimmysFavs]

Blame Starmer for the embarrassment that is Lammy.

[fennahrob]

Trump won’t deal with Lammy. Conclusion; Lammy will be forced to resign.

I Wish Douglas Murray was UK Prime minister

[BobvanT]

Agreed ! David Lammy is an agitator and should not be in the position he is - lacks knowledge and wisdom and judgment .

[StevenBird-en]

To the American people, I just want to remind you that 70% of British people did not vote for this government and apologise for any offence that they cause you!

[simplesimon]

So the UK basically has a Foreign Secretary that will not be welcome in America if Trump wins office. And Starmer thinks it's a good idea to elevate him to that position.

Lammy is way way way way way out of his depth...sad how merit has been replaced with skin colour...

[davidscott]

How this guy becomes foreign Secretary says everything about politicians today.

[Okram.]

Lammy: The cutting edge of modern British politics. How dumb of the Prime Minister giving Lammy this role.

[michael]

Lammy should be removed, it also shows Starmers lack of judgement.

[davidwilliams]

How can he be our foreign secretary he's a liability everytime he opens his mouth,

[hugolindum]

The USA should say to Starmer that they refuse to cooperate with the UK until Lammy is sacked.

[RickGhastly-tycq]

To think, Lammy will be representing us, the UK on a world stage, what an absolute show up

[steveoldroyd]

David Lammy should be sacked immediately. For all the comments he's made about Trump. If it was any other party Starmer would be calling for them to be sacked asap. Lammy is a total embarrassment to this country

[GeorgeMelvin-rcsq]

Its true, Lammy has grown a cervix because he is a complete C. . .

[TheSuperHarrygeorge]

The decay of the Labour Party has never been more apparent with Lammy.

[adrianbrockhouse]

Lammy is a Embarrassment 2 Britain. Horrible human being.

[goingpostal]

Lammy is a clown, just goes to show the quality of the current crop of puppets in the U.K.

[MadelineMcneill]

This Country will not survive 5 years of Labour, especially with David Lammy as Foreign Secretary.
